Robin
Who knew your pain?
Who knew your grief?
Who knew your life
would be so brief?
You came along
in hurried flight
and disappeared
into the night
The joy you gave
the smiles you've sown
are turned to tears
since you have flown
I've come so close
to where you've gone
but many more
went further on
to that dark place
by their own hand
And, sad to say
I understand
I cannot judge
for I could see
inside of you
a bit of me
Thank you Robin
for the laughter
we will miss you
ever after
The curtain's down
the crowd has gone
the memories
will linger on
The tearful clown
has left the stage
and sadly we
must turn the page
